oh ok, i thought you were still trying to get php to work with PWS or IIS

jammin — Tue, 01 Apr 2003 23:03:09 +0000

you keep saying get apache but that is where the problem is, all of the packs that i have installed have used apache, its hard to find one that doesnt have apache, and im fairly sure it is apache that is giving me the problem.

it works now, it was just a stupid problem.

no. you may be able to compile just the clphp executable, but it wouldnt let you see anything in a browser, and it'd be a bigger pain in the *** than just installing apache. you can't run a webserver without a webserver, which is basically what you want to do.

p.s. get Apache

... well it installed fine, but it wont work, isnt there some way i can JUST install php and not any server or anything, i just want to be able to test my php files on my computer to make sure they work.

i tried to install a couple of those bundles, but they diditn work, they just caused errors it might have just been the programs, so i will give it a try. thanks

I believe the php bundles (apache, php, mysql etc) work on XP home edition firepages.com.au has them and manuals etc

also you shouldnt have to install asp, it's part of IIS. no reason you shouldnt be able to install php either... i'd recommend dumping the microsoft webservers and installing apache.

edit: ok just realized you said you cant because you have home edition - get apache!

asp makes me want to barf. it's pretty much VB, i don't mind VB but i hate ASP for some reason. Anyways, it's all personal preference, i'd personally recommend perl or php but they all do the same thing.

nevermind i just found out that you cant run asp on xp home edition. stupid microsoft, now what server language should i learn, php and asp were my first choices but i cant install the stuff to work with either of them.
